True that. Kitco is in the pockets of the cartel. They'll skew perception with the bid ask distortion you noted, as well as the incremental designations like the ridiculous 2 dollar increments we saw last night.
The charts never go to 2 buck increments when the price is going up.
Only when it's going down. Anybody taking a quick look at the chart see's the exaggerated down turn and panics. Cheap parlor trick LoL!
